Because a flawless tan isn’t magic — it’s teamwork, babe. Let’s set the record straight: A perfect spray tan doesn’t come from the solution alone — it comes from a glow partnership. I bring the clean, luxury formula and technique, but I need your skin prepped right and your aftercare on point to make the magic last.

It All Starts With Prep

Think of your skin like a canvas — if it’s dry, flaky, or covered in old product, your tan won’t apply evenly. That’s when you get streaks, patchiness, and blotchy fade-outs. Not cute.

Here’s how to prep like a pro:

🥥 Exfoliate 24 hours before your tan: Use our Glow Grounds Coffee Scrub — a blend of detoxifying coffee and skin-loving oils that gently buffs away dead skin without harsh ingredients.

🚿 Shower with a gentle, non-oily body wash: No heavy fragrances or sulfates. We love:– Native Unscented Body WashMethod Simply Nourish– Our own Glow Rinse — sulfate-free, tan-safe, and scented with warm golden sugar ✨

🧴 Avoid oil-based lotions, shaving creams, and deodorants the day of your tan. They act as barriers and can interfere with the solution. Our On-the-Glow Body Oil can be a great option for shaving.

Aftercare = Tan Longevity

Once you’re bronzed and glowing, it’s all about the maintenance. A spray tan typically lasts 7–10 days, but only with the right TLC. Here’s your new tan care bible:

💧 Hydrate like it’s your full-time jobMoisturize twice a day with lightweight, oil-free products. Try:– Neutrogena Hydro Boost or Unseen Supergoop! SPF 40 (yes, you still need sunscreen)– Our Glow Whip — rich, fluffy, and made to lock in your tan without breaking it down

💦 Pat dry, don’t rub after showeringYour tan is not a gym towel. Be gentle!

🌞 Use sunless-safe SPFUV damage breaks down your tan and your skin barrier. Glow smart.

🛁 Skip long, hot baths or saunasAnd limit dips in pools or salt water — chlorine and salt dry out the skin and cause premature fading.

🌿 Boost your bronzeExtend your glow with our Stay Golden Gradual Tanner and seal it all in with our On-the-Glo Body Oil. Both are clean, hydrating, and designed to work with your spray tan, not against it.


Glow Recap:

A flawless tan = my solution + your care.Prep well, treat it like the luxe beauty treatment it is, and you’ll glow longer, smoother, and more evenly every time. 💛
